@JulesBass6 I think it's due to the need for a bedside screening tool for sepsis and, with qSOFA recommended against by the SSC 2021 guidelines, MEWS and SOFA requiring a computer or a beautiful mind to calculate, we fall back on SIRS as a quick, sensitive, but not specific screen.
Woke up this morning to wonderful news: my @NIH_LRP application was successful. There is zero chance that would have happened without the amazing mentorship from @lab_mcdonald and fantastic support from the @UABPulmonary community. I'm excited to see where this research goes!
@DerekRussellMD @NIH_LRP @lab_mcdonald@UABPulmonary@NIH Third renewal? ๐คฏThat's amazing! And I agree, I tell everyone I'm most excited about what this means for my prospects of eventually securing K funding. ๐คBut, of course, we're all huge data nerds so the likelihood ratios really move us.
@UABPulmonary@lab_mcdonald All credit has to go to the excellent mentoring by @lab_mcdonald and all the work my labmates have put in on this project! Just another reason I'm excited to be a part of @UABPulmonary.
@cmevenson @namarschalk Listen here, I wouldn't be trying to call a reduced EF on a comically off-axis parasternal long if you would have accepted this patient to the CCU.
@respcare Hi friends, having some trouble getting onto your website and wanted to make sure you were aware. I've checked elsewhere it seems this is not limited to just me. Hope all is well!
@namarschalk @AkshayVijayara1@YeshaPatelMD@IDRenaissanceMD Whenever I get GM, I feel like it's always equivocal whether it's serum or BAL. So I'm not really sold on the clinical utility in situations without a reasonably high pre-test probability.
